Description

The Ibanez EW2012ASE is a striking 12-string acoustic-electric guitar from Ibanez’s Exotic Wood series, known for its eye-catching figured ash body and rich, shimmering tone. Produced from 2008 to 2014, this model blends unique visual appeal with versatile performance features, making it a standout choice for players seeking both style and substance.

The quilted ash top, back, and sides deliver a bright, articulate tone with plenty of natural chorus and sparkle—perfectly suited for the lush, full sound that 12-string guitars are known for. The EW body shape with a Florentine cutaway offers comfortable playability and easy access to upper frets, while the mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, responsive playing experience.

Equipped with a B-Band undersaddle pickup and Ibanez SRTn preamp system, this guitar is stage-ready with flexible tone shaping, a built-in tuner, and both ¼" and XLR outputs for direct performance or recording use. The onboard notch filter helps reduce feedback, making it a reliable option for live settings.

With its abalone rosette, gloss natural finish, and distinctive grain pattern, the EW2012ASE is as visually impressive as it is sonically rich—an excellent choice for players looking to expand their sound with a 12-string acoustic-electric.
